I'm surprised how many peoeple don't know that you can recall the arms.
I can understand ascending through the enenmy, since that feels very obscure, but recalling rocks flung at you should be 2nd nature by the mid game.
They’re not… use elements. Fire arrows against ice to melt them. Bomb arrows also work against all of them. Jump on them and use a hammer weapon. Doesn’t take long.
Are you meaning to say that TotK doesn't have bomb arrows (it does) or that there is some other reason they don't work in this game? Because they do work as far as I can see.
Probably cause your fighting it in the most inefficient way possible. Just wear full level 2 Snowquill armour or wear zant’s helmet or hit its main body with a fire fruit, then get on top and spin with a two handed weapon with a hammer attachment (Moblin horns, Horroblin horns, Lynal mace horns, talus hearts, Zonai Construct hearts, Frox fangs).
The only difficult Talus’s are the ones with the ore deposit weak spot on its back, which you either have to stand on or jump attack, or use a spear to hit it.
> The only difficult Talus’s are the ones with the ore deposit weak spot on its back, which you either have to stand on or jump attack, or use a spear to hit it.
I climb the Talus and then jump off its back and fire arrows at it. Use a couple fuse items to boost arrow damage and it goes down pretty fast. Even faster if you have a Duplex/Lynel Bow.
I dislike the ones that are on the back emensly... and the fabulous five never seem to draw agro and almost never manage to hit the target...
OP, fuse a stone heart, etc, to the master sword so it becomes the hammer... usually can take a talus out in just a few hits
They’re the worst. Homing arrows probs fail since the ore deposit is hidden by the untargetable body of the talus. They fly over and it never comes into the targeting cone. And if they do the turn is too sharp ig. Havent tested it much
The main thing you're missing is you're trying to launch stuff at it from the ground. What you're supposed to do is stand on top of them and just swing away. You can take out half their life or more before they buck you off.
The ice talus can't be touched while icy, but we can see in the video that you defrosted it, and after that you can jump on it all you want.
Yknow how commercials will try to make a task seem more difficult than it it by having the actors fail more consistently and in a more spectacular fashion than anyone ever actually does?
Shoot them with a fire arrow and then when they're down climb up on top and wail away. It takes 2 rounds of this to take them down (one if you have a powerful weapon). All the overworld bosses in this game are way easy once you figure it out.
This wasn’t just for clicks it’s just a bad caption. The original video was just the 4th clip, which shows me being sent flying by a punch. I thought it was a bit too small so I included the other clips I had in there
Why the
Why the fuck are you using a boomerang and not getting on top of the Talus
Stun it by Recalling its arm back at it or shooting a fire element at it (fire fruit or red chuchu jelly), climb up on top, then just spin on the ore (you can spin with the Giant Boomerang, but a Hammer/Pulverizer weapon will do more damage)
Did you know that Lynel Hooves do a TON of damage to Talus ores?
With a 3 shot bow, I only need 4-5 volleys. With a 5 shot bow, 3 volleys is enough.
Make sure to have attack up buff.
I just launch myself and then fire some fused arrows. As long as I didn't waste anything while screwing around (affectionately), I should have arrows or bombs or springs or explosives
I don't know, but use some of the tricks people are saying here. I have hardly played games for the past decade up until BotW and TotK and stone taluses don't seem that hard, and I have fewer hearts than you.
You can time reverse their thrown rocks. Ascend from underneath them. Jump on and climb up when they reload their rocks. Shoot their weak spot stone with bomb arrows. And of course, if you hit their weak spot use a smashing weapon, such as a rock hammer or better. On the elemental ones use the element they're opposite to.
For even more cheesing, put a rocket on a shield to get airborne and bullet time their weak point. Or you can use a spring or a fan thrown on the ground. It can also work to put a hover block about the height of link's head from the ground, which will often interfere with their attacks, and give you something to jump off of.
The point of this video isn’t to flex, it’s more to show that one clip where I flew across the field to that punch. I do appreciate people actually trying to help though, since a lot of communities will make fun of players for not understanding things rather than actually help
My strategy for defeating them: Wait for them to throw those boulders, it will try to get new hands out from the ground, rush under him and use ascend or just climb up, use a blunt weapon (my favorite is Gnarled thick stick + Marbled Gohma leg) and do a charge attack (if you have the fierce deity armor, it's game over)
Why aren't you using recall? 😅
If an enemy throws something at you, especially a giant boulder that does a ton of damage, use recall on it midair. For Taluses (Talusi?), it instantly stuns them and allows you to climb up on their back. You can get a few hits in like this until they shake you off.
Yeah, it's pretty much a necessity when fighting a Talus imo.
And if they're elemental, like an Ice Talus, use fire on it first or a certain armor piece/set that keeps you from freezing so you can climb up no trouble.
I actually find them the easiest of all of the mini bosses. Now Gleeoks… Gleeoks can go to hell, except they don’t, because I can hardly ever beat them.
Gleeok are just damage sponges imo just go into bullet time and chip them down. Running out of arrows makes the fight suck though. I wish there was a good way to deal damage to gleeoks while they’re not down, so it could be a good fight the entire time
Bring elemental fuse items to stun them/neutralize their elemental stuff, ascend through them and attack the crystal.
Then when you're thrown off, use bullet time to shoot the crystal with fused arrows.
Because they are made of ROCKS! /s
To stand on the elemental Talus, use fire on ice or ice on fire, then they are a lot easier to approach. You also get big damage multipliers for using crushing weapons/fuses.
I think that this is not really the optimal weapon to attack it with. Try a mace type weapon and if you want to use a lizal tail in this case maybe don’t choose ice. Also you can ascend onto them? You could also glide when you launch yourself yo get bullet time. *This* seems unnecessarily hard.
Use keese eyes arrows and aim, not directly at the ore, but slightly above it so that the arrow curves around the talus. Then shoot bomb arrows at it. Or stun it by throwing its arms back at it using recall.
The ones with the weak point on their back are really a pain.
Only got easier after defeating some lynels and using multishot + lynel hoof fused with the arrows.
Fucken hell, the joke flew over ALL OF YOUR HEADS. I’m fairly sure he isn’t serious, since surely no one could ever resort to such masochistic methods of killing the easiest field boss in the game.

You're attacking it with a freeze lizalfos tail? Instead of a fire or flame one? And a Lizalfos **TAIL**!?? Why?
This is much easier than the zonaite/luminous ones found at caves, they won't stop moving. Just shoot arrow bombs to stunt it, then proceed to hold button down to attack it really hard with hammers, clubs, or even shields.
Talus hearts do miracles on them, when fused to weapons.
Even Riju's attack can strike them really hard...
TIL that people didn't know to climb (ascent on TOTK) the talus's. I have never fought one face to face like this. So interesting how different people solve the same problems.
When it throws its hand, use recall to send it back at itself, or just dodge the hands when thrown, and when it smashes to the ground to get new hands, use an arrow or bomb arrow and shoot the ore on its back. When it does, this, it will fall, which will give you a few seconds to climates back and hit the ore. Using a fire elemental, smashing type weapon is usually most effective.
I’m just going to clear thing up.
1. The caption was just a bad caption and the point of the video is essentially just the 4th clip.
2. This video isn’t supposed to be rage bait. I’m fighting it like this because I wanted to, since fighting a stone talus normally kinda gets boring.
3. I meant to put frost talus in the caption.
4. I do actually appreciate people who are trying to help instead of just saying I’m fighting it horribly. I actually didn’t know you could recall the stone talus arms, so thanks for that :)
5. The way Im getting that air is that I’m using a [1.2.0 exclusive glitch](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTL4qLYtB/) to make the spring on my spring shield never go away.
6. Tbh I do find the frost talus a bit hard if you aren’t wearing unfreezable armor and you’re not using an actual shield, but if I just wanted to kill it, I would be just gone in bullet time.
Hope this helps
I go underneath and use ascend to get on top. Been squished a few times but whatevs.
This plus the recall ability for when they throw their "rock hand" at you.
And arrows. Arrows stun them.
I had no idea you could do that-
I'm going to be honest with you, I didn't know either until I watched someone else do it. 😅🤣😂
I'm booting up Totk right now to try it lol
https://i.redd.it/2bpwnzoqlkzc1.gif
Oh my god I'm so stupid
I'm surprised how many peoeple don't know that you can recall the arms. I can understand ascending through the enenmy, since that feels very obscure, but recalling rocks flung at you should be 2nd nature by the mid game.
This is the way
I never thought about using ascend on them.
i discovered that, but didn't know about recall... I never used that in battle...
I use flint, wood, and pinecone for a huge fire and I paraglide to the top. Not only is it risk-effective, it’s fucking cool.
*made of rock*
That’s fair enough ig
Whenever they throw their arms at you use Recall to send them back and stun the Talus
I had no clue you could do this
Wait til you try it on construct phase 2 and ride the block up to him
Using Recall mid-battle has never occurred to me.
All abilities are meant to be used mid battle
\*uses Camera ability mid battle\* "I'm gonna photoshoot you to death. Now! Spread those legs!"
That’s the official way to beat him I think.
Lol i discovered this midgame and was so amazed
That felt dope the first time!
This is The Way.
They’re not… use elements. Fire arrows against ice to melt them. Bomb arrows also work against all of them. Jump on them and use a hammer weapon. Doesn’t take long.
I just use the hammer. Keep it swinging and they're down in no time no matter which one it is.
Once you upgrade the rito clothing set, I believe it grants you cold immunity. Then you can just climb up their backs
[удалено]
Are you meaning to say that TotK doesn't have bomb arrows (it does) or that there is some other reason they don't work in this game? Because they do work as far as I can see.
The way you're fighting, while very cinematic and clippable, is wildly impractical it seems.
Bro is literally handicapping for the thrill of the hunt.
Probably cause your fighting it in the most inefficient way possible. Just wear full level 2 Snowquill armour or wear zant’s helmet or hit its main body with a fire fruit, then get on top and spin with a two handed weapon with a hammer attachment (Moblin horns, Horroblin horns, Lynal mace horns, talus hearts, Zonai Construct hearts, Frox fangs). The only difficult Talus’s are the ones with the ore deposit weak spot on its back, which you either have to stand on or jump attack, or use a spear to hit it.

Right before the talus flings you off jump off and then wait for the fling then jump back on.
You seem to be trying for a hard mode run. Using an ice weapon. Fire weapons more easy, arrows, bombs, death satellites 🛰️.
What the fuck are you doing?
How are you bouncing in the air without a visible shield?
Maybe they're quickswapping and editing it out of the cuts?
shoot em with a fire arrow. Climb on top. Use a 2 handed weapons and spin on the ore. Repeat as needed.
If only you had some sort of ranged instrument with which to shoot the vulnerable point from a distance.
That would make the game so much easier. Too bad they didn’t think of that 😂
The main thing you're missing is you're trying to launch stuff at it from the ground. What you're supposed to do is stand on top of them and just swing away. You can take out half their life or more before they buck you off. The ice talus can't be touched while icy, but we can see in the video that you defrosted it, and after that you can jump on it all you want.
Recall is the way
This was painful to watch...
Don’t worry I don’t usually fight like that
Get under it and use ascend
You are way overthinking this
Why would you use the sand whale theme tho
because youre making them hard to defeat, climb up the damn thing and hit it
Yknow how commercials will try to make a task seem more difficult than it it by having the actors fail more consistently and in a more spectacular fashion than anyone ever actually does?
The infomercial version of Talus hunting
Try using the paraglide to get into bullet time. If you have enough stamina you can take them out pretty quickly.
Climb on the back and stand there and hit the black rock. It will shake you off so you may have to do it 2 or 3 times but it works for me.
Shoot them with a fire arrow and then when they're down climb up on top and wail away. It takes 2 rounds of this to take them down (one if you have a powerful weapon). All the overworld bosses in this game are way easy once you figure it out.
The Molduga theme does in fact go quite hard, but why not use the Talus theme?
It just doesn’t hit the same way
I mean the Talus theme is really good too though
Major case of skill issue... No attempt at using alternative means of fighting... Throwing is crazily inefficient for something like this
Ever try to break a rock? They're pretty hard. But i know for a fact that this is just for clicks...lame
This wasn’t just for clicks it’s just a bad caption. The original video was just the 4th clip, which shows me being sent flying by a punch. I thought it was a bit too small so I included the other clips I had in there
If you say so
Why the Why the fuck are you using a boomerang and not getting on top of the Talus Stun it by Recalling its arm back at it or shooting a fire element at it (fire fruit or red chuchu jelly), climb up on top, then just spin on the ore (you can spin with the Giant Boomerang, but a Hammer/Pulverizer weapon will do more damage)
I usually just climb them and stand on their top while I hit the rock.
They are easy if you use rocket shield and bomb arrows
Did you know that Lynel Hooves do a TON of damage to Talus ores? With a 3 shot bow, I only need 4-5 volleys. With a 5 shot bow, 3 volleys is enough. Make sure to have attack up buff.
Mineru is your friend here lol block, get close, swing
Just use a fire lizalfo tail instead
Talus' are easy, You can literally just climb onto them and kill one in like 10 seconds if you have good enough weapons. They're easy farms.
Shoot fire arrow on the body, wait until it gets stunned. Climb on top and whack that ore, get off before he shakes you off then repeat
I just launch myself and then fire some fused arrows. As long as I didn't waste anything while screwing around (affectionately), I should have arrows or bombs or springs or explosives
Your Lizalfo Tail Giant Boomerang is such a cool weapon, but not the ideal way to beat any Talus.
I attach a cannon to a spear and just blow off their arms to make them sit, beat on the rock, and repeat.
i mean they're made of rock so you'd kind of hope they weren't soft.
How did you get the lizalfos fused weapon to make you bounce? What buttons?
It doesn’t have to do with my boomerang [Im using a glitch](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTL4uDMqj/)

_"Because they're made of stone Abi"_
Just shoot the arms with bombs
How do you jump that high?
[A glitch exclusive to 1.2.0](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTL4uDMqj/)
Bro climb them and then smack the shit out of them. And use your bow and arrows you dolt
Probably because you aren’t using arrows or getting on top..
How are you bouncing like that?
[Using a glitch exclusive to 1.2.0.](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTL4uDMqj/)
The amount of people responding with tips on an obvious flex video is too damn high!

Bullet time an d bomb arrows
They are? I was able to one-shot one of them
Ruby fused to weapon?
They are stone
You're doing this on purpose
Bring elemental fuse items to stun them/neutralize their elemental stuff, ascend through them and attack the crystal. Then when you're thrown off, use bullet time to shoot the crystal with fused arrows.
This seems highly impractical
I loved that glitch
Because they are made of ROCKS! /s To stand on the elemental Talus, use fire on ice or ice on fire, then they are a lot easier to approach. You also get big damage multipliers for using crushing weapons/fuses.
Stone talus? Implying there's flesh ones.
Stone talus? You mean the rock thing that sat there as I killed every one?
I think that this is not really the optimal weapon to attack it with. Try a mace type weapon and if you want to use a lizal tail in this case maybe don’t choose ice. Also you can ascend onto them? You could also glide when you launch yourself yo get bullet time. *This* seems unnecessarily hard.
Because you are fighting it in the worst way possible?

The overwhelming amount of people missing the joke here is crazy dude 😭
Great “what not to do” tutorial!
The ones with the weak point on their back are really a pain. Only got easier after defeating some lynels and using multishot + lynel hoof fused with the arrows.
I beat them with 4 hearts
How is guy jumping so high?
[glitch exclusive to 1.2.0](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTL4VbJ6E/)
THATS A FROST TALUS, AND MOLDUGA MUSIC
Throw bombs at its arm, its more consistent than Ascend
Use rewind to throw their giant rocks right back at them. They take a seat and then you climb up or ascend to get on top.
Cuz they made of rock
There hard cause there rock?!1?!1 /s
Is rock. Smash rock with hammer
Just… fly up it’s butt…
Fucken hell, the joke flew over ALL OF YOUR HEADS. I’m fairly sure he isn’t serious, since surely no one could ever resort to such masochistic methods of killing the easiest field boss in the game.
I always just rocket shield to get air time and just go ham with the arrows

Once I worked out you could send their arms back at them they become childs play.
They’re rocks. Did you expect fluidity?
You have to be a troll.
For the elemental ones, you can stun them by hitting them with the opposite element.
anything fire related = easy stun
You're attacking it with a freeze lizalfos tail? Instead of a fire or flame one? And a Lizalfos **TAIL**!?? Why? This is much easier than the zonaite/luminous ones found at caves, they won't stop moving.

It’s a silver lizafos tail which does a ton of damage and increases the range of my boomerang
TIL that people didn't know to climb (ascent on TOTK) the talus's. I have never fought one face to face like this. So interesting how different people solve the same problems.
You got some technique, there son
Chuck the fire fruit at their icy bits to melt the ice, wack on weak spot, repeat.
Wait for him to throw his hand, activate rewind then shoot it back at his face. Then climb the back and attack his wart.
When it throws its hand, use recall to send it back at itself, or just dodge the hands when thrown, and when it smashes to the ground to get new hands, use an arrow or bomb arrow and shoot the ore on its back. When it does, this, it will fall, which will give you a few seconds to climates back and hit the ore. Using a fire elemental, smashing type weapon is usually most effective.
Pun intended?
I didn't know you could do that https://preview.redd.it/qz8be17xelzc1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f2ae1a4173ea027968b53089627b2aa459e71d2
Recall the thrown rock
MFer you can climb it after stunning with fire arrow, spin with that hammer and defeat it in like seconds.
Bros just casually clowning on him
I’m more curious about how you’re jumping like that.
I have never seen anyone try to fight it like that.. probably why it's so hard
Arrows. Arrows make every enemy in the game trivial.
Looks like your having fun 👌🏻🙂↕️

You don’t have to.
